More of the Same

Ok everyone, prepare to be entertained.

Cutting its way through the swirls of dry ice and gyrating to thump of a celebratory tribal beat is a brand new poker blog from Eyebrows.

You may have played poker before. You may have a read a blog before. Hell, some of you might have read a book before (Ed – let’s not go nuts), but we promise you will not have read a poker blog like this before.

Yes, aside from making the kind of sweeping claim that causes our copyright lawyers to pop Prozac, we will also bring you a highly original take on the poker world.

A lot of blogs read like they were created by a friendless statistician with OCD but, rest assured, most of those days are behind me. Three times a week, we will bring you a combination of tales from the tables, strategy suggestions and articles in an attempt to strengthen the sense of community at Eyebrows.

Some of the posts will reflect the play at our site so regular players may well see some their moves discussed and, in some cases, criticised – but only from the stance of an impartial observer: there will be no embittered, spluttered posts about perceived injustice here. (Ed - now that’s a good ‘un). We intend to encourage debate, not to provoke a bun fight of half baked opinion.

The regular posts will begin tomorrow with the first in a series of articles that will cover the basics of poker. A lot of you will already be familiar with the mechanics so we won’t just offer guidelines for the Adams and Eves of poker. For those who already consider themselves slier than every beast of the table, we hope we can dangle some fresh apples from the tree of knowledge by providing some alternative definitions of poker terms that might just ripple your fig-leaves.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy it.

Feel free to post your comments as the blog will be enlivened by your contributions. Don’t just shut up and read.
